With that announcement and his words of 'motivation', Noah walked away from that arena.
'Now that this is done, it won't take too long for everyone to realise what happened here. Just this simple action is going to change the flow of my story completely.'
This world or this story, isn't just about cultivating mana and reaching a higher realm.
There is also the threat of Netherkins, the dark monsters that have affected most of the regions of this planet, but there is more to them than what meets the eye.
Besides them, the original story also focused on romance, harem and politics.
In the academy, the political game runs wild, each person trying to gain control of their noble family, which includes the prince and princess of the human empire, as well as the elven and beast folks.
And now, among the youngsters, someone has already gained control of their family, and that too after defeating their genius twin sister, whose potential was called terrifyingly high.
Noah's title as the next heir, has given him a huge advantage already. Not just in terms of his political control, but also him being a genius.
'The academy is going to be fun. There is still a week before we depart, till then, I will make sure to break Rose into my obedient slave. Ah, this reminds me... I am about to get questioned a lot by mother.'
Eleanor did say that she knew about his other elemental affinities, but that was a complete lie, and she wasn't going to let it slip easily.
'Well, I will make some excuse that I also recently learned that. Besides them all, you send me some notifications system, mind showing me now.'
Ding~
[You have completed the quest 'Duel with Noelle'.]
[You have won the duel against the future duchess of the region. You have defeated the heroine of the story. Your actions have changed the flow of the story.]
[Your importance in the story has increased.]
[You have been rewarded with 1,000,000 story points.]
'God damn. A million points? For real?'
The astronomical number before him made him stop in his steps.
Just now he spent 110 points, which he wouldn't have if it wasn't necessary, keeping it saved up like a precious treasure, and now he is a millionaire already?
[You will not get so many points for every quest host.]
'For only those that has importance, right? I know that much, no need to explain that.'
After a quick thinking, he can tell why he got so much. If it were just a normal duel between siblings, he wouldn't have received so much, but the stake in it was huge, so it was quite obvious, it's just that he didn't think he would receive so much.
'I can save the points for later, to use them when necessary, but I don't think I will need to use Author's halo any time soon. Let me see what's in the store.'
By this time, he had reached his chamber, and the maids outside bowed deeply when they saw him and opened the door for him.
They all had witnessed what happened in the arena just now, so they did not dare to displease him anymore, not that they dared to do that before as well.
Noah walked inside and rested his body on his comfortable bed.
The system opened the store for him as per his request.
There were a few sections that he could choose from. They were weapons, potions, skills, clothes, bloodlines, physique, mana cultivation and aspects.
'Hmm, show me the section with bloodlines.'
He commanded and immediately, different bloodline names popped up before him, but before he read their names, he looked at the pricing and instantly felt poor.
They all ranged from hundreds of millions to billions.
"Even a millionaire is poor here, huh? I can try to awaken my physique and bloodline myself, but that process... It's close to impossible."
The concepts of bloodline and physique were something Noah added later on in the story when the other worlds were merged.
If someone ever manages to awaken either their bloodline or physique, they can see a massive boost in their overall capability and potential.
Not everyone could awaken their bloodline or physique; that's because many don't know what kind of bloodline or physique they are born with, and they require specific items to awaken. So either you have to be extremely lucky or force them to awaken.
"Hmm, let's buy them later. I don't wish to go to extreme lengths just to awaken a physique or bloodline which might turn out worthless. Not every awakening is good, I would rather buy one that I like with points."
He backed the screen from the bloodline section and also discarded the thought about physique for now.
'I have good aspects already, I will check them out later. Clothes and weapons, no need to buy them, I am rich here. I already have a mana cultivation method. Potions and skills... they are important. System, show me the section for skills.'
The screen changed again, revealing the thousands of skills he can buy.
'I can use many easily with my aspect and affinity, but checking them out won't hurt. If I know the skills, I can use them whenever I want. Hmm?'
His intention wasn't to buy skills; he could use them whenever he wished. He only wanted to learn their names and how to use them, but something else caught his eye in that section.
Besides the skills for knights and mages, there was something else, a sub-section named "Seduction skills".
'Ah, why did I not think of that, this is a Seduction System, so obviously it will have them.'
Out of curiosity, he changed the sub-section from mages and knights to seduction skills. And what he saw there,
"Ohhh~"
Made him intrigued.
